Beyond the Basics 2012 Fly Tying Class |
|
|
The "Beyond
the Basics" fly tying class is a valuable class for fly tyers who want to advance their skills, and
learn some techniques that will increase tying speed and
consistency--two things that most tyers struggle with. Here is the
notice that will appear in the March Leader. Sign up simply by sending me
(Bill Carnazzo) an email message at

“BEYOND THE BASICS”
2012 FLY TYING CLASS
This class is for tyers who are in the intermediate to advanced
category; it is not a beginner class.
We have to be firm on that point because it is a limited enrollment,
and the various tyers are counting on that. The goal of the class is to
hone skills of more experienced tyers. The format consists of six
consecutive evening sessions from 6:00
p.m. until 9:00 p.m. All
sessions except one are on Wednesdays; the exception is Thursday, March
22. The first Wednesday session will
be March 7. So, the dates will be
March 7, 14, 22, and 28, and April 4 and 11.There will be a
different tyer at each of the six sessions, which provides members with
a very interesting variety of opinions, techniques, styles, and
viewpoints. Each of the guest tyers will be very experienced, and each
will do something different. The
class is limited to ten (10) members.
Here is the lineup of tyer-instructors:
March 7 (Wed.) Bill Carnazzo (Tips, tricks,
& techniques for improving speed &
consistency) March 14
(Wed.) Jim Holmes (Jim's choice) March 22
(Thu.) Ray Ito (Classic flies) March 28 (Wed.) Dennis Lee (Flies for the life cycle of steelhead) April 4 (Wed.) John Daniels (Outside the box tying techniques for trout flies) April 11
(Wed.) Jim Hunter (Patterns for Henderson Springs and
similar stillwater venues) We have done this class annually for quite a long time; each time it has
been a resounding success. There is no fee, except that individual guest
tyer-instructors who opt to provide materials, hooks, etc.., may need to
be reimbursed by class participants. Reimbursement is expected at the
beginning of the session. The cost, if any, will be nominal.
All classes
will be held at the Raley's on Douglas and Auburn-Folsom Rd (the one
near clubhouse), from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. A materials list
will be sent to participating members sufficiently in advance to allow
for purchase of the necessary items. To sign up, please send an email to Bill Carnazzo at
bcarnazzo@sebastiancorp.net;
or, you can sign up at the February general meeting. If we have more
than ten members sign up, a lottery will be held.
